Week 12 Revision Process

The revision process has opened up a lot of different ideas that I previous wouldn't have come to realize in ordinary circumstances.  With others viewing my work, they reveal things that may be trite or if phrases or sentences are awkwardly written.  Also giving advice and constructive criticism to help modify that which needs it.  I haven't had many avenues, of late, to be creative other than this class.  My other classes are mainly science and math.  I've always had random thoughts pop into my head such as jokes or idiosyncrasies that I notice throughout the day that pretty much go by the way side unless I blurt them out at the time of conception.  Humans should be and need to be creative, that's how our society advances and figures out solutions to problems and fine tunes common sense.  If creativity wasn't a human gift we would still be banging sticks together and grunting in a forest trying to figure out what that ball in the sky keeps rising and falling.  I don't agree with Mr. Marvin either.  Poetry doesn't have to be just in written form in stanzas and filed away somewhere.  Poetry is music of any type, opera, certain movies, musicals, plays, interpretive dance, and the list can go on forever.  Money can be made doing just about anything, maybe Mr. Marvin's maniacal, misleading mantras make more motivated men millions....
